Background

The true origin of the original Carrion have been someone confused by
much of the reconstruction of history which was performed during Maximum
Cloneage and the Return and subsequent death of The Jackal, a.k.a. Dr.
Miles Warren. What seems fairly certain is that the Carrion body was a
clone of Dr. Warren which he created of himself shortly before
Spider-Man met his Spider-Clone for the first time.

The original story lead that, following the death of Dr. Warren, the
clone-casket 'malfunctioned' and super-aged the Dr. Warren clone into
death - and beyond. What emerged then was the super-powered incarnation
of evil known as Carrion. Carrion had the power to create a Red Dust
which could spread disease, incapacitate, or even cause a body to
just whither and die.

A later, alternative writing of events holds that Dr. Warren created the
Carrion clone deliberately to contain his lethal Carrion Virus.

What is absolutely certain is that Carrion possessed great power and no
conscience. His guiding force was the memories of Dr. Warren which were
contained in his RNA. These memories lead him to seek the painful and
humiliating destruction of Spider-Man.

Similarly, the Carrion Virus is deadly in all its various strains. One
strain was responsible for creating Carrion II (Malcom McBride) and
Carrion III (William Allen). Equally as lethal is that strain which
Miles Warren, The Jackal, intended to use to destroy all of humanity -
as portrayed in Maximum Cloneage.
